Didn't meet our expectations

Parking was great. Nice enough outlook and away from any noisy areas. On the road to Lake Matheson which was well worth seeing. Room and bathroom were roomy enough and dark enough to sleep.

Disappointing!

This accommodation is falsely advertised; it is not a hotel it did not provide food and drink. We occupied 2 rooms. In both some things were good, some were appalling. A tired looking rectangle of buildings with high weeds in the center of the gravel car park., and an unused wing which had once been a restaurant. We struggled to find the entrance to our room which was not signed and was hidden by 2 large linen trolleys. We shared a large clean room with a comfortable bed and comfortable leather chairs. The shower was good. The television was not working, nor were the bed side lights. There was only cold water in the kitchen sink, 1 teaspoon, 2 forks and a bottle opener, 4 glasses and 2 cups and saucers, no knives or plates. A sign in reception suggested that guests strip their bed linen when leaving. The second room with 2 beds, had a plastic lavatory seat that was cracked across the middle. The split was covered with 2 pads which could have been sanitary napkins or tissues, bound with tape. The seat was insecure and could be lifted off. The toilet paper ran out, and there were no spare rolls. Like the other room there was a reminder "Please note the television is currently not working due to a broken tv antenna. we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding," By the look of the signs they had been there a considerable time. We would not recommend this accommodation. It is not a hotel; it does not provide food or drink and is some distance from the township. It is not value for money.

Didn’t stay , false advertising

Nothing We didn’t end up staying the site on booking dot com says it has a restaurant, they don’t at all and then when I asked the girl how to make the tv work she said sorry they have asked the bosses to fix the tvs ( none of them work ) the bosses won’t do it . The outside was run down and not mowed just looked awful . We left couldn’t get refund and drove and paid for another nights accommodation elsewhere

Do not book this property Believe all the previous poor reviews Continuing to list this property, while it is owned by t

The linen was clean and there was plenty of hot water (but much of it ended up on the floor as the shower leaked!)
